World of Warcraft Shares Incredible Stats for Plunderstorm

World of Warcraft recently shared a short video detailing some amazing one-month statistics for Plunderstorm, with over half a million games and counting. The new battle royale game mode in World of Warcraft has been wildly popular, and these stats back up just how successful the experiment has been.

Over half a million Plunderstorm matches have been played so far, with at least one single player winning 321 of them. The video shared some surprising facts, including that all the Health Brews drunk in games so far could fill 279 Olympic pools, that Tarantulas were the deadliest monsters in the game, and that Basic Attacks comprised 31% of all kills.

The wild experiment that is Plunderstorm has been a drastic step away from typical WoW. The game mode went through many iterations and almost looked much different from what World of Warcraft players received. It hasn’t been perfect, and though it has been generally received favorably, it has not gone without criticism from some fans. That said, if these statistics are any indication, it is clear Plunderstorm has made an indelible mark on World of Warcraft.

So far, World of Warcraft hasn’t given players a solid end date for Plunderstorm, but early reports said it would likely last for about six weeks. That means fans can expect the battle royale game mode to be available until at least the end of the month, if not longer, which should give players plenty of time to earn all the available World of Warcraft rewards from Plunderstorm.

Were that not exciting enough, World of
